What's your favourite EDC knife?

[Rob47]

Case Small Stockman. I may carry other knives, but the small stockman is always in my pocket.

I’m old and set in my ways. Been carrying a Military since they first came out. I have a ridiculous number of them in my collection.

Carothers DEK1.

I find myself doing the same.....carrying a Spyderco of some sort (usually the Techno 2) and a SAK, usually the Pioneer X but sometimes a Tinker.

The older I get, the smaller my EDC needs get.

Also the older I get, the less I use my traditionals due to negotiating the nail nicks with arthritic hands...

Yea man a SAK plus whatever flavor knife you like on the side is an awesome combo. I also carried a Leatherman everyday until a couple weeks ago. Just trying to go a little more lightweight. I hear ya on the small EDC. I've been enjoying some larger knives lately, but you're absolutely right, for most of my every day needs I can get along just fine with a smaller knife. I really like to carry my Kershaw Scallion on small knife days, that thing cuts like a demon with the recurve and, even though the handle's small, the way it's shaped makes it feel much bigger.

Right now, it would be a Spyderco Delica burnt orange hap40. this thing takes a licking and keeps on... and not afraid to use it for pretty much anything short of prying.

Buck 112 Slim or a MAM folder, or Opinel #6 ……. at least recently. That’s the joy of EDC, they can change. I often go back to my Camo Endura in vg 10.

Victorinox Classic SD, don't leave home without it.

I've covered a huge amount of ground with that exact combo. Really covers all the bases you'l find in real life.

Without a doubt, my Ruike P662-b. It's pretty much been the main knife I've carried for the past year and a half by a long, long way. It's sleek, good looking, has good steel (14C28N), and is cheap. Once broken in, deployment is fast. It's small enough to be carried easily, but big enough to be useful, and I love the blade shape for EDC. Only gripe I have is the pocket clip kept on getting caught on everything and bending open, which resulted in me nearly losing it a couple times. So I took the clip off and carry it in my pocket now, which is also comfortable to do since it's a fairly narrow knife. That might be a deal-breaker for some, but it doesn't bother me.

I have gravitated to smaller knives as I have gotten older with a blade length of 2.750” being then sweet spot for me. That allows a handle that I can get all of my fingers on and enough blade to do pretty much all of my cutting needs. I have also gravitated to more traditional patterns like slip joints and old school type lock backs. Just my personal preference. Lately my favorite EDC is a Buck 501.

 

[Danny Linguini]

Buck Sprint Pro. S45VN blade and marble carbon fiber handles. Perfect size, weight and feel. And it just looks killer.

Cold Steel AD10:

My local retailer just received this knife in a few different colourways. The OD green with black blade is all kinds of sexy.

EDIT: To the OP question, Spartan Harsey folder in plain jane titanium. Love it!
